Fortinet®, the global cybersecurity pioneer driving the convergence of networking and security, now announced an integrated solution featuring FortiGate VM, Fortinet’s virtual cloud firewall, running directly on the NVIDIA BlueField-3 data processing unit (DPU).

This integration embeds networking and brings isolated infrastructure acceleration into the AI Factory, allowing core security functions to run on BlueField instead of the host. By moving protection into the data centre infrastructure itself, the solution helps enterprises secure high-performance private cloud and AI environments without slowing critical workloads.
